Rising Risk: Help for Behavioral Health in ED, Webinar: June 26, 2018
June 25, 2018
There is an entire population in turmoil. You’re aware, of course, that opioids are out of control; but did you know that in 15-month period between July 2016 and September 2017, 16 states reported a 35% increase in ED visits for suspected overdoses?
Emergency departments have their hands full; and the ‘full’ is extending to hospital beds. Between ’05 and ’14, a 64% cumulative inpatient stay increase was directly aligned to opioid abuse; a 99.4% ED visit increase was experienced for opioids.
Blaze Advisors’ clients have recently worked with us to develop, in conjunction with our technology partners Smartlink Health, a new intervention methodology we’re calling CONVERT. The multi-step system allows for early identification of opioid use and potential for abuse, then offers intervention via engagement, assessment and transition services.
